When to Use a Cleaning Service Contract
A cleaning service contract is commonly used when a business opts to hire a cleaning company instead of employing its own janitorial staff. It’s also used when private customers want to free up time in their schedule while maintaining a clean and tidy home.
What to Include
Contact Details – The contract must include the names and mailing addresses of the cleaner and the client. This information may become necessary if invoices or legal notices need to be sent from one party to another.
Contract Duration – The form needs to indicate the contract’s start and end dates. For ongoing agreements, the required notice period to terminate the contract should be specified.
Services – The scope of work must be clearly defined, including the work schedule, areas to be cleaned, types of cleaning products, occasional tasks, and any service restrictions.
Compensation – To ensure timely payment, the contract should specify the compensation amount, payment schedule, and whether the cleaner charges an hourly rate or flat fee.
Independent Contractor Status – It’s important for the contract to state that the cleaner isn’t the client’s employee. This distinction demonstrates the cleaner’s status as an independent contractor responsible for managing their own work and paying income taxes.
Signatures – Both parties must sign the service contract to make it effective.
